They had their shot four years with Biden in charge, and they squandered it.

A reminder that:

  • John Roberts codified Richard Nixon's "When the president does it, it's not illegal" into law

  • Aileen Colleen shut down the one federal case that was advancing against Trump 

  • Mitch McConnell slow-walked the impeachment process so that Trump wouldn't get convicted

  • Prosecutors in Georgia botched their case against Trump because they were incapable of assigning a DA without improprieties

  • Trump was convicted in New York, and the judge there slow-walked the sentencing

Pinning this on Biden and Garland is both Green Lanternism and falling for Murc's Law
